About BuildUnderwater

From Thunderstore

Allows you to build underwater

Build Underwater

Requires BepInEx Configure with BepInEx ConfigurationManager

Features:

Allows you to build underwater. Push the default Quote key (Which is the #Hash key for some users) to enable. You should see a message appear bottom left if it's been turned On or Off.

Below is a list of known "issues" which I won't be fixing, as they're not really issues. Just things to be aware of.

Known "Issues"

  • While enabled, you won't be able to drink from the water sources since they're gone.

Use the hotkey to turn off, take a drink, then turn back on.

  • It's not possible to build upwards, when you're too far out in the ocean when y axis goes below 0 (You shouldn't really encounter this)

You'll notice this issue after the first 2 pillars as you won't be able to add an upper beam.

  • If you load a new game while it's turned on, you will need to probably push the hotkey twice.
  • Doesn't work in caves.

Installation:

  1. Download BepInEx from the link above
  2. Drag contents of the BepInEx zip file into Sons of the Forest game directory (right click in steam > browse local files)
  3. Open the .zip and drag BepInEx into the base game directory
  4. Enjoy!

Configuration:

Configure the hotKey inside the faulty.sotf.buildUnderwater.cfg file after running the mod for the first time. Or use BepInEx ConfigurationManager and configure while in game.

Support:

I am available on the Discord server (SOTF Modding). The invite URL can be found in the top navigation on the thunderstore website.
